Two years ago, I folded a huge stack of shirts using this OWH tutorial. I know I had over 50 shirts at one point. Then, I had to turn them into cards for OWH. I realized too late that I'd made more shirts than OWH likes to receive as multiples, so I ended up spreading them over a few years. The last 8 shirts were finished up today! I inked the backgrounds to go with the shirts. Part of the reason I hadn't used these particular shirts was that I had trouble matching them to my other papers, so making my own solved that problem.
Think about trying a new-to-you OWH tutorial this week from the archives. There's also a necktie perfect for Father's Day. Cards for Father's Day are due by the end of April this year, so you have about a month to make them- don't delay!

I'm all about the neckties; these shirts are awesome though! 50 shirts is pretty impressive. :)
